“Madame Web” swings to top of PH box office – P10.4M gross biggest first day take for 2024

Filipinos love Madame Web! 

Madame Web, the first superhero movie with a female lead in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, is the #1 movie in the Philippines this week, scoring a record-breaking PHP 10,402,829 on its first day. With a Valentine’s Day debut in 326 screens nationwide, the film holds the biggest opening day gross so far for 2024.  

“There was an opportunity with this movie to reinvent a Marvel world where, first of all, it’s led by women, and it’s made by women,” says Dakota Johnson, who plays Cassandra Web / Madame Web in the film. “And because of that, the characters are real, and they are messy, and they are complicated, and they are extremely powerful.”

Director SJ Clarkson says that “Madame Web” is unlike any other superhero. The Dakota Johnson starrer opens in cinemas on Valentine’s Day

“Madame Web is unlike any other superhero,” says director SJ Clarkson, who helms Madame Web, the first superhero movie with a female lead in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.

In bringing to the screen one of Marvel’s most mysterious and inscrutable characters, Clarkson directs a standalone origin story for the character, played by Dakota Johnson, who uses the power of her mind to weave together the fates of everyone around her. “One of the themes of the movie is that you don’t have to be superhuman to have superpowers,” Clarkson continues. “Most superheroes’ powers come from strength and agility. With Madame Web, it’s all psychological.”
